Could Amazon Disrupt Yet Another Industry?

Reports have surfaced recently that the e-commerce giant may be making a big splash into groceries.

In this video, Motley Fool contributor Brian Stoffel will tell you why Amazon is trying this, which companies this move might threaten, and how -- though unexpected by some -- moving into groceries is another sign of Amazon remaining true to its core mission.
